Diploma Information
May 2024 degree candidates, please login to the GradApp and tell us if you would like your diploma to be at the diploma ceremony, or if you are unable to attend, whether you will pick it up in 300 Grace Hall beginning May 22, or if we should mail your diploma. The deadline is March 22.
Summer 2023 and January 2024 graduates, if you did not receive your diploma, please reach out to Joanna Geist (574-631-5183 or jgeist@nd.edu).
Please note that the unofficial Commencement Program, provided during Commencement Weekend, is based on May degree candidate's previous semester grades for printing deadlines; therefore, some Latin Honors will be incorrect. An Official Commencement Program is produced in August and will be sent to the address we have on file for you. The diplomas are printed in-house and are reprinted prior to commencement weekend for Latin Honor adjustments.
Latin Honors for Undergraduate Students
In the undergraduate colleges or schools, a degree will be granted for Summa Cum Laude if the student’s grade point average ranks among the top 5.000 percent of those students graduating from the student’s college or school; for a student whose grade point average ranks among the top 15.000 percent of the student’s college or school, a degree will be granted for Magna Cum Laude; for a student whose grade point average ranks among the top 30.000 percent of the student’s college or school, a degree will be granted with Cum Laude honors. A student who meets the requirements of more than one category of honors will be awarded only the highest honor for which that student qualifies. View the Latin Honors for the current semester.
Earning a Notre Dame diploma is a great honor not only to the holder, but also to the wider University community. Congratulations on your accomplishment! All students who have met their current obligations to the institution and have no account holds are eligible to receive their diploma at Commencement.
